TIBAK RISING : Activism In The Days Of Martial Law

"The Tibak stories remind us there's more to transformation than slogans and the grim and determined politics of the streets (or the hills). We find friendships and comraderie built even in detention, not just among prisoners but with the soldiers. History books tend to gloss over the details of everday life; life histories capture the warmth and color of these encounters. On a sad note, the stories also highlight the irony of events that unfolded later, of former bosom friends becoming bitter enemies, of paranoia turning comrade against comrade". -- from the forward by Michael L.
